An important question in the field of spirituality at the workplace concerns the relationship of this construct with organizational outcomes. While recognizing that workplace spirituality is an abstract concept, this study attempts to empirically measure the relationship between spirituality at the workplace with employee attitude and engagement. Workplace spirituality has been measured through a combination of individual and organizational type variables whereas employee attitude was measured through five prevalent variables. Two variables were used to measure employee engagement. This study proved a positive association between spirituality at the workplace and employee attitude and engagement. PLS-SEM is used to test the developed research model and hypotheses on the collected data. In conclusion and recommendation, this paper presents numerous implications and research directions for both academics and the business world, moreover, the paper also justifies the need for a comprehensive investigation into the impact of workplace spirituality on employees and subsequently on organizational performance.
